Name one UConn player in history to add to this team

[ucp990411]

Jake, Toraino, or Lyman Depriest. Guys that didn't take any crap from anybody. Just like their coach.

Edmund Saunders was legit in 1999 and I believe the skill sets he showed that year would fit nicely on this team.

Oh man I agree as I tend to not think of the stars in a thread like this and in turn, the guys who fit in off the bench. He was vastly underrated off the bench, some of his own doing as he could've been a star, but still a guy who would be a wonderful piece on this team no doubt.

Might have a little recency bias here but I was thinking Shonn Miller

Shonn was our most consistent player last season. If he was a couple inches taller and a couple years younger he would've been an nba draft pick. He caught the foul syndrome from Brimah towards the end of the season, but other than that, he saved uconn in some ways last year.

While he was careless at times and reached a bit too much, the guy got called for so many phantom fouls it's amazing the label he had from the stripes too!

Cliffy was never first team All-Big East but Selvie was a far better player and maybe our most versatile player ever.

Is this some sort of funny joke I didn't hear about?

 

[MattMang23]

Marty Gagne.

 

[Scoe]

Daniel Hamilton

 

[mauconnfan]

Marte Smith

Sam Cassell Jr. that guy was a monster. Lol.

Why do you feel such a need to actively rank on the kid?

Shonn Miller was consistently getting 2 fouls in the 1st halves of game right from the beginning and his inability to not commit stupid fouls was something he dealt with all season. Hell, for that reason alone he is someone I wouldn't pick.

Rip, Ray, Donyell and Shabazz all qualify under the rules of the thread. After all, none of them were 1st team for Connecticut considering they played for Rutgers

 

[dennismenace]

Rod Sellers (not sure if he was all conference) or Toraino Walker. Hope I'm wrong about this because I want to see some
really aggressive rebounding.

"Career high 15 for Tony"!!!!!! Classic

Title says it all. Which UConn player from past teams would help this team out this coming season the most and why.

RULE: Selected player must not have been an all-conference 1st team player during any of his years at Connecticut.

That being said, I was recently watching some game replays from the 06 team and Rashad Anderson man, just an absolute sniper. Not only a perfect form but confidence in that shot, something guys rarely have, especially on our rosters as of late. I know we are supposed to be bringing in some good shooters in this class but like champs99 said in another thread that I agreed with, it seems like our advertised incoming "shooters" the last 5 years or so have struggled heavily as underclassmen. A guy with experience and aim like Anderson would be huge for next years team, Adams and Gilbert would be looking for Rashad on the perimeter all game long.

Caron Butler..no brainer...low post 3/4 who can rebound and score from anywhere

 

[joober jones]

Either sophomore year Josh Boone or senior year Hilton Armstrong.

EDIT: Looks like I broke the rule too. I need to learn to count to one.

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Caron Butler..no brainer...low post 3/4 who can rebound and score from anywhere

he would be great, but a co-big east player of the year does not qualify given the rules. Charlie V. is the correct answer.

 

[DaddyChoc]

Shon Miller
